You are such a moron it is becoming increasingly difficult to even reply to your posts anymore. Perhaps that is by design. To call this "mild" is right up there with "a small blip in human history".
It currently sits #13 on the worlds worst plagues/pandemics and it is still growing.
It is currently the 3rd leading cause of death in the US.
We just surpassed our highest hospitalization counts with that number growing daily.
Anyone that can call 1.5 million deaths, 65 million cases "mild" is either insensitive or trolling, possibly both. You cant just consider "death" as the only metric in this. People deal with lingering, sometimes permanent damage to their bodies including:
The most commonly reported long-term symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Cough
- Joint pain
- Chest pain
Other reported long-term symptoms include:
- Difficulty with thinking and concentration (sometimes referred to as “brain fog”)(This one is being recognized more and more " "New research is now suggesting that there may be long-term neurologic consequences in those who survive COVID infections, including more than seven million Americans and another 27 million people worldwide. Particularly troubling is increasing evidence that there may be mild — but very real — brain damage that occurs in many survivors, causing pervasive yet subtle cognitive, behavioral, and psychological problems."Quoted from Harvard Research Study. (I bet you wouldn't call it "mild" if the FAA took your medical from you due to something like this.)
- Depression
- Muscle pain
- Headache
- Intermittent fever
- Fast-beating or pounding heart (also known as heart palpitations)
More serious long-term complications appear to be less common but have been reported. These have been noted to affect different organ systems in the body. These include:
- Cardiovascular: inflammation of the heart muscle
- Respiratory: lung function abnormalities
- Renal: acute kidney injury
- Dermatologic: rash, hair loss
- Neurological: smell and taste problems, sleep issues, difficulty with concentration, memory problems
- Psychiatric: depression, anxiety, changes in mood
Lots of this is still being determined but it's clear to say that "death" counts shouldn't be the only thing considered when we talk about something being "mild" or not. Death counts came down because people slowed the transmission, thus minimizing hospital crowding, once hospitals exceed capacity, expect deaths to also rise.
I say all of this because are all tired of your constant insertion into Envoy matters. You don't work here, nor at AA currently, so why do you have such a need to come here and post-inflammatory remarks? Are you enjoying making people upset? If so, that again speaks volumes about who you are as a person.
The flow wasn't working great prior to this, in fact, it was moving pretty slowly for most people's tastes. There hasn't been an Envoy hired pilot yet to flow, so for you to come in here and say how good it is, to what is mostly Envoy hired pilots, again shows your lack of knowledge over the subject matter, your clear desire to frustrate/anger your fellow pilots and your complete lack of dignity when discussion a worldwide pandemic that is still in its infancy. You can talk about vaccines, AA's aggressing plans, holiday travel etc all you want, but until we actually see it in action or have the results from it, you are guessing at best. You can say how immensely successful something was prior to an event all you want, but it doesn't change anything. Tokyo Electric was wild successful prior to Fukushima's accident, doesn't change that it was an awful event that will have decades-long repercussions.
Move on with your life, go bug your AA coworkers if you must, but please leave us be here at Envoy, and for god's sake, please don't act like you have any clue as to what is going with Covid-19. The best scientists in the world are still grappling with it, so I highly doubt someone that said it would "
burn out in the Summer heat" has any leg to stand on.
